Vocode agents can decide to take actions synchronously during calls. There are two ways to configure actions:

  1. Phrase Triggers
  2. Function Call Triggers (default)

See Action Triggers for information on how to configure triggers. Below is the list of actions that an agent can perform:

EndConversation

EndConversation allows the agent to end the call, e.g. if the user says “Goodbye!”

DTMF

DTMF allows the agent to hit dial tones during a call, e.g. navigating a phone tree

TransferCall

TransferCall allows the agent to transfer the call to another phone number

You can attach these as IDs to your phone number agent as follows:

You can also add these as actions as raw payloads as follows:

[Beta] ExternalAction

ExternalAction allows your agent communicate with an External API and include the response as context in the conversation.

See External Actions.

[Beta] Warm Transfer

Allows your agent to conference in another party into the call.

See Warm Transfer.
